Here’s my take on this season’s HOF nominees. Lots of 500 HR hitters on this list! Amazing. Some good controversy this year as well. No Doubt Pablo Vincente – A 1B who stands out of the crowd! He hit .305/.393/.603 (.996). 667 HR (7 th all-time), 1927 RBI (5 th all-time) 1591 R (11 th all-time) – certainly one of the top 10 offensive players in the league. Won an MVP, went to 6 all-star games, and won 2 silver sluggers. Combines the great peak with excellent longevity, and gets my nod. Trenidad Espinosa – Finally some of the excellent pitchers Capra has to offer are retiring. Espinoza went 212-126 (.627) with a 3.43 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP. He pitched over 3100 innings and won a CYA, almost exclusively in the AL. Kelly Grace – Maybe one tiny notch behind Espinoza, Grace went 213-143 (.598). He won a CYA, went to 6 AS games, and finished with a 1.22 WHIP and a 3.52 ERA, half in the NL, half in the AL. Now look around this list and see how many people hit ove
